Electron configs, PT Trends, Bond Properties

Front

What is the least reactive family on the Periodic Table?

Back

Noble gases are the least reactive family on the Periodic Table due to their full valence electron shells.

Front

Which sequence does not show the correct trend in ionization energy?

Back

Be < Mg < Ca < Sr is incorrect; ionization energy generally decreases down a group.

Front

What type of compound conducts electricity when molten?

Back

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten due to the movement of ions.

Front

What property describes an ionic compound?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to strong electrostatic forces between ions.

Front

Which type of compounds have a low melting point (< 200°C)?

Back

Covalent compounds generally have low melting points due to weaker intermolecular forces.

Front

What is the general trend of ionization energy across a period?

Back

Ionization energy increases across a period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge.

Front

What is the general trend of atomic radius down a group?

Back

Atomic radius increases down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

Which group of elements is known for having high electronegativity?

Back

Halogens are known for having high electronegativity.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
